From the "E Haku Inoa" website http://hakuinoa.com/

"A young multi-racial Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) woman, filmmaker Christen Hepuakoa Marquez, sets out to discover the meaning of her incredibly lengthy Hawaiian name from her estranged mother whose diagnosis as schizophrenic in the 80′s caused their family separation. Christen discovers not only herself within the name, but gains a whole new perspective on the idea of sanity and how cultural differences can sometimes muddle its definition."

Pacific Islanders in Communications sponsors the Pacific Showcase at the Hawaii International Film Festival each year. In 2013 "E Haku Inoa" was one of its featured films. http://www.piccom.org/pages/hawaii-international-film-festival#.VES19Oe-3gA
